Named by American Photo and Rangefinder magazines as one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World, Ryan Brenizer has photographed more than 500 weddings in four continents.Ryan has twice been selected to be the sole independent photographer covering the U.S. presidential candidates the last time they meet in person before the election. Due to photography he has been stared down by Muhammad Ali, blessed by the Pope, and had his work featured in a retrospective of Smokey Robinson’s life at the Kennedy Center.
